Summary

The recent World Cup prompted widespread protests across Brazil. In our 25th episode, we discuss why these protests took place, who participated, and how they connected to the uprisings of the last year. We share an audio collage of protest voices, an interview with Brazilian anarchists, and a Situationist-inspired critique of mass sports spectacles. The new green anarchist journal Black Seed appears on the Chopping Block, while a Ukrainian anarchist offers perspective on why things may not be so bleak there for anarchists as we thought. And there's hooliganism, a June 11th rundown, prisoner updates, reflections on the "global village," and Juggalos to boot!

The FBI recently visited the homes of activists in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, in connection with Donna Borup, who failed to appear for trial after her arrest at a New York anti-apartheid demonstration over 30 years ago. Remember, if you’re ever visited by the FBI or other law enforcement agents: 1) Say only: “I have nothing to say to you. Give me your card and my lawyer will contact you.” 2) Contact your nearest National Lawyers Guild chapter to let them know about the encounter. 3) Contact the Bay Area Committee to Resist Political Repression at: BACRPR [at] riseup.net and let them know what happened.
